Listing Info

from the Flewelling Guitar Works web site

I was raised in the potato farming region of northern Maine. After attending tech school I moved to the southeast and lived in Atlanta, Fayetteville, NC., and Nashville over the next eighteen years. Though as a teenager I desired to build guitars, my uneducated early attempts never saw completion and life demanded that I earn a living. I made that living in a cabinet shop in Atlanta where I learned many of my woodworking skills. I married a southern girl, Tracy, who has amazingly remained at my side for 28 years. I did fixits and paint jobs on friends&#8217; guitars along the way but was in my 30&#8217;s before becoming serious as a luthier. I was later hired by Gibson Guitars to assist in developing their Dobro line of resophonics. I moved to the coast of Maine in 1999 to be near my family. In 2001 I started my own guitar shop doing repairs and building custom instruments.

The price for Unlimited Forever access is right around the cost of a few months of private lessons. I can guarantee there is more than enough material on-line to keep you busy for a long, long time. And, you get all of my books for FREE. That alone is more than the cost of this plan.

So help support this site and its continued development by signing up for one of the below Premium Access Plans or buy a few of my books. - Thanks, Curt

NOTE: Each higher access level includes ALL the benefits of the lower levels. Private Lessons include all the benefits of a Premium Access Plans as long as you remain a student on the schedule.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee

Aloha, Curt, All I can say is WOW! What you have accomplished is simply incredible! All the bestGlen Hirabayashi, The Aloha Boys
